A creative force and world-builder, Jacob Schlittenhardt blends storytelling, branding, and vision to shape the future of work—both real and imagined.
Jacob Schlittenhardt is an entrepreneur, brand strategist, and world-builder who thrives at the intersection of storytelling and business. As the COO and President of Planetary Talent, he is shaping a new era of global hiring—blending creativity, strategy, and innovation to connect top talent with companies that think beyond borders.
But Jacob’s journey to co-founding Planetary Talent isn’t just a business venture—it’s a story written across time.
Before launching Planetary Talent, Jacob was the Head of Galactic Aesthetics for a world-building company, crafting immersive brand experiences. His work has always revolved around shaping narratives that inspire and connect people.
That passion took a new turn when he discovered Maxwell Jules' lost writings—a collection of cryptic notes, blueprints, and theories on interstellar work. As he worked with Mark to unravel Maxwell’s computer archives, it became clear: this wasn’t just a story—it was a roadmap.
Today, Jacob leads both the real and fictional expansion of Planetary Talent. He brings Maxwell’s forgotten ideas to life through decoded transmissions, hidden histories, and deep dives into the unknown, all while ensuring that the company’s brand and mission stay aligned with its boldest ambitions.
Whether he’s crafting a brand, shaping a marketing strategy, or publishing the latest insight from Maxwell’s archives, Jacob’s goal remains the same: to build a universe where talent and opportunity know no limits.
